Window Basics
Window Source
Up to 4 individual windows can be active on-screen at one time. Each window has its own
dedicated source button and are labeled in alphabetical order starting with “A” and ending
with “D”. The source for each window can be any of the 4 inputs.
To switch the current input that is being routed to each window, the user can press any of
the window buttons (A – D ).
The window’s source will advance to the next numerical input in the following order: 1 2
3 4 1, etc. Input source cycle is looping.
Quad is displayed, by default

When the unit is in Full Screen mode, each window (A – D) will automatically have an input
assigned to it (A = 1, B = 2, C = 3, D = 4). In this mode, the LED for the selected window
(displaying its corresponding input) will be illuminated.
Full screen mode. Window A

Page 24

Preset Activation
Four preset buttons are present and are available for quick activation from the front panel.
Two buttons are dedicated to default presets (Full and Quad), while the remaining two
(Preset 1 and 2 (front panel) and P1 - P6 (remote) are user presets that can be set via the
web interface.
To activate, press the desired preset button.
Full screen mode activation
To enter full screen operation when the unit is in a different preset or conguration:
1. Select the Full preset button on the front panel or IR remote. The LED for full screen
will become active and window buttons A – D will ash.
2. While the buttons are ashing, select a window button on the front panel or IR remote.
The buttons will stop ashing and the selected one will remain illuminated, indicating
the window is active. Each window (A - D) will automatically be assigned an input in
numerical order, starting with input 1 for Window A.
The Full screen preset button LED will remain active while full screen mode is in operation.
The image displayed on the output will be dictated by the current routing state of the
switcher. In this example, the source that is connected to Input 2 is displayed.

Note that Window B is displayed, because the B button was pressed. The button for the
current Window will remain illuminated until another Window button is pressed.
In Full screen mode, each Window button (A - D) on the front panel represents each of the
four inputs in numerical order. These four window buttons are used to perform seamless
switching between the four sources.
The included IR remote control can also be used to seamlessly switch between the four
sources by pressing the Window buttons (A, B, C or D).

Multiple Window Display
To recap, the unit can display up to four sources on one display. When multiple sources are
displayed on the screen, we refer to each source as a window. In general terms, a window
is dened as an output. It is recommended that you refer to Window Source, pg. 13, before
continuing.
When working with full screen mode, we saw how we could switch windows, allowing us to
view different sources, one at a time.
Quad Mode Activation
Quad mode divides the screen into four equal quadrants -- one for each of the four inputs.
By default, Window A will use Input 1, Window B will use Input 2, and so on.
Of course, any input can be re-assigned to any window.
Although the input to each window--can be different, the window ID (A - D) does not
change.

2. The image on the output will be equally divided into four windows. This window
arrangement is used by the Quad mode.
3. Now, let’s change the routing state so
that the source connected to Input 2
covers the top half of the screen.
If we look at our window template for
Quad mode, we can see that routing
Input 2 to Window A will accomplish
this task.
4. Press the button for Window A once.

Window Priority
The built-in Web interface allows windows to be re-sized and arranged in any order.
Windows can also be prioritized/layered above or below one another. The ordering of
overlapping objects in two-dimensional space is sometimes referred to as the z-order.
In the illustration above, the yellow window is set to priority 1 and will be displayed on top
of all other windows. Setting a window to priority 4 (the red window) will move the window
to the bottom-most position. The smaller the number, the higher priority. Multiple windows
cannot share the same priority.
Note that the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher does not allow a window to have a
transparency property. This is only used by the diagram above and the web interface on the
next page to illustrate how windows can be placed behind or in front of one another.

Assigning Window Priority
1. Access the Web interface for the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher.
See Web Interface, pg. 36, for more information.
2. Go to Window Setup, pg. 41, page of the Web interface section.
3. We’ve selected Preset 8 from the Select Preset drop-down list. We’ve also
repositioned and resized the windows, as follows:
4. Select one of the windows by clicking on it or selecting it from the Select Window
drop-down list. For this example, we are going to select window D and make it the
top-most window.
5. The current priority of the selected window will appear in the Priority drop-down list.
6. Select 1 from the Priority drop-down list.
7. Window D will be the top-most window. This window can be positioned anywhere
within the interactive workspace and the window will appear on top of all windows.
8. Choose Preset 8 from the Save To drop-down list and click the Save button to save
any changes to the preset.

Using the IR Extender
There may be situations where the front panel IR sensor is blocked due to being positioned
inside a cabinet or other mounting situation. In this case, the included IR extender (Gefen
part no. EXT-RMT-EXTIRN) can be connected to the IR In/Ext port on the 4x1 Multiview
Seamless Switcher. The sensor on the IR extender behaves exactly like the sensor on
the front panel of the switcher. Always point the IR remote control in the direction of the IR
sensor.

The Rotation option is ONLY applicable to Window A.
Reset All
This option will ignore any unsaved changes, and return all options to their previously
saved state. If the selected preset is LIVE, this button will have no effect.
Routing
This table is used to determine the input to window routing that will be saved with the
preset. The ‘X’ buttons are used to set a Do Not Include for that window, which will not
change the current routing of that window or audio when the preset is activated.
For example, saving a preset with 'X' (Do Not Include) for audio routing will not change the
current audio routing when recalling/activating this preset.

EDID ► Copy
The EDID Copy option provides the ability to copy the Output or any EDID that is currently
stored in an input’s memory to another input.
When a custom EDID has been uploaded to an input, use this option to copy it to the other
inputs. Select an EDID to copy, then select the copy destination.
NOTE: The EDID Mode of the destination must be set to Custom, and the EDID Lock must
be turned off to allow the copy procedure. The Copy button will then be available.
There are 3 EDID modes:
Internal
Precongured and non-customizable EDIDs that have specic limitations on the resolution
and number of allowable audio channels.
External
An EDID that is “pass-through” from a connected display through the unit and directly to the
source with little to no modication.
Custom
The User Dened EDID can be uploaded, and each input has a memory location that
stores the selected EDID. When using the Custom EDID mode, the EDID Lock function will
be available to prevent accidental overwrite of the EDID that has been uploaded.
NOTE: The MVSL inputs cannot accept more than 1080P or 1920x1200 so
this external EDID mode could result in a 4k signal from a source when a 4k
TV is connected. The source's 4k signal will not be displayed.

select an input as the destination and click Upload.
NOTE: The desired input EDID mode must be set to Custom to enable the option in the
destination dropdown menu.
You can also download an EDID to your computer by selecting an option from the Select
EDID File dropdown menu. Options include the Output, any of the 4 inputs or the 2 internal
EDIDs. A downloaded EDID may be loaded into the Gefen Syner-G™ or other EDID

Using Telnet
1. Launch the desired terminal application. For example, on the Windows operating
system, we can use Hyperterminal; on Mac OS X, we can use the Terminal
application.
2. In this example, we will use Terminal in Mac OS X. At the command prompt, type the
following:
telnet IP_address
where
IP_address
is the IP address of the 4x1 Multiview Seamless Switcher.
3. After correct settings have been used in the terminal program, information similar to
the following will be displayed:
